MS Dhoni is perhaps the most widely followed player from the Indian team having millions of fans around the globe. It’s not an unusual sight for Dhoni to meet with his fans post a match, and after Thursday’s encounter against Mumbai Indians, the Chennai Super Kings skipper did the same.
An aged lady had held a poster saying, ‘I am here only for Dhoni’ during the match against Mumbai Indians in Mumbai and the wicketkeeper-batsman came down the stairs of the dressing room and took a selfie with his special fan.

Mumbai defeated Chennai
Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by 37 runs in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Chasing a score of 171, CSK got off to the worst start possible as they lost both their openers in the first two overs of the innings. Ambati Rayudu (0) was dismissed by Jason Behrendorff and Shane Watson (5) was sent back to the pavilion by Lasith Malinga.

MS Dhoni came out to bat at number five, and he along with Jadhav bought some calmness to the proceedings. Jadhav was the one to do the big hitting, as Dhoni looked to settle in the middle and take the game deep.
The duo put up a 54-run stand before Hardik Pandya provided Mumbai with the big wicket of Dhoni (12). In order to look for big strikes, the CSK skipper perished. Ravindra Jadeja (1) also failed to leave a mark as he was sent back to the dugout in the very same over by Hardik.
What the scorecard reads! Chin up and onwards to the next one back at the #AnbuDen! #WhistlePodu #Yellove #MIvCSK 💛🦁 pic.twitter.com/LYT72Ecd3q
